Hi, Leopard ships with libedit, which is almost the same as readline, but has another way to configure completion keys. To enable tab completion you have to use rl.parse_and_bind("bind ^I complete") instead of rl.parse_and_bind("bind ^I rl_complete") instead of rl.parse_and_bind("tab: complete"). The guys from IPython patched around it, see http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/InstallationOSXLeopard/LeopardPythonReadli ne, but is seems to me this is better solved in the python readline module itself.
